This competition is now closed. Thank you for your entries – the winner will be published in èƵ’s last issue of the year, on the web on 16 December and in the shops the next day.
This week’s èƵ contains seven very short stories by leading science fiction writers. All of them are set about a century from now – the time that guest editor calls “the hardest zone of all, when our growing capabilities will be confronted by immense dangers, creating an unstable and unpredictable future”.
Now we’d like to hear from you. Send us your stories set one hundred years into the future, and a panel of judges headed by acclaimed science fiction writer will pick the best to be published in a future issue of èƵ. We’ll publish a selection of the most entertaining and thought-provoking online.

Your story should be no more than 350 words in length – do watch your wordcount, we’re always having to disqualify good competition entries because they’re just a little bit too long – and should not have previously been published anywhere. You can read the full terms and conditions here, but the short version is that by submitting your story you give us non-exclusive rights to publish it now or at any future date, in whatever medium we choose. The closing date is 15 October 2009.
We look forward to reading them!
